Highly touted center Tyler Linderbaum will not participate in drills at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week.
According to NFL Network's Stacey Dales, Linderbaum said he suffered a midfoot sprain during Iowa's 20-17 loss to Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl, and that he is aiming to be ready for Iowa's pro day on March 21.
Linderbaum is widely regarded as the top center in the 2022 NFL draft, and ESPN NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. projected him to go 10th overall to the New York Jets in his latest mock draft this week.
